Benny’s Bridge wins at Cheltenham

Benny’s Bridge bridged the gap at Cheltenham

Making his handicap debut, the strong feeling before the race was that Benny’s Bridge would be well suited by the likely stronger gallop and his jockey Paddy Brennan was as cool as a cucumber as he settled him in last place.

Turning into the home straight Benny’s Bridge still had a great deal of ground to make up, but he gradually bridged the gap under a tight rein and was on the heels of the three leaders jumping the last. Weaving his way between horses, Benny’s Bridge soon asserted on the run in and was punched out to win by a comfortable 2¾L.
